I have had such remarkable help in Christian Science...

A. Wilson King

I have had such remarkable help in Christian Science, that I desire to tell of my healing, hoping that it may help others. For twenty-five years I was a great sufferer from distress in my head. I had twenty-seven different doctors, some of whom were noted specialists in Boston. Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco. I underwent five different operations, one being very serious. The most severe suffering had occurred about every two weeks for twenty-five years: and the only relief for ten years came from injections of morphine, of which I was finaily obliged to take very large quantities. A Christian Scientist who knew me and had heard of my sufferings, begged me to try Christian Science; but I had then lost hope of ever being helped, and was so discouraged that I did not want to try anything.

I moved to Salt Lake City in 1903, where this same friend resides. she again advised trying Christian Science, and I then went for the first time to see a practitioner. At first I received but little benefit, and I now think it was because I opposed the teaching. I could not believe it was for me. I attended the Science services, but was much discouraged when I heard of cases of quick healing. I so opposed the Science that I would not purchase any of the literature, but read borrowed books. After a time I was convinced I must do more for myself: that I should read and study more earnestly. On doing this, I began to see that the truth was for me as much as for any one: and I began to improve gradually. This was about seven months after I had started in Science, and within two months more the severe headaches lessened. Within four or five months more, or a little over a year after I became interested in Christian Science, I was entirely healed.

During the time I was being treated in Science, I was healed of rheumatic trouble in two treatments. Since then I have been through many kinds of exposure, have never had any return of the trouble, and am now in better health than in twenty-five years.

I know that a beautiful light has entered my life through Christian Science, which has given me my health. I am indeed grateful to that noble woman. Mrs. Eddy, who has done so much for mankind in giving to the world "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

Mrs. A. Wilson King, Salt Lake City. Utah.
